PRESS RELEASE

September 22, 2008.

Tony Allen has recently been named the Director of Marketing & Business Development for Classic Auto Restoration Specialist, Inc. (C.A.R.S.).

In 1992, Mike Case, President and CEO of C.A.R.S., decided to restore a 1968 Camaro Z28 that he had owned for twenty years. He took the car to two different shops, but both were unknowledgeable and very slow with the restoration process. These experiences forced him to set up a shop in his garage where he began the restoration of his Camaro in his spare time. His wife, however, was opposed to their garage becoming a classic car restoration shop so Mike rented a small shop and with the help of a local auto body man and a mechanic, working evenings and some weekends, he began his restoration business. During the next two years, Mike accumulated 20 project cars and had once again out grown his shop space.

After thirteen years of personal, hands-on experience restoring classic cars, his present day enterprise, Classic Car Restoration Specialist, Inc. was born. Their new 40,000 plus square foot building meets the needs of a world class classic car restoration facility and they have spent the past two years acquiring zoning approval and remodeling their new facility. C.A.R.S. has successfully restored over 100 classic cars. Their new facility also contains a large array of memorabilia which is for sale, as well as a vast collection of over 1,000 classic car and gas station memorabilia items.

C.A.R.S. also features an online marketing business selling classic cars, auto parts and collectibles. With Tony Allen’s assistance, they plan on establishing themselves as the foremost destination in the U.S. for classic car restoration, sales and service. C.A.R.S. strives to create a pleasant experience and an enjoyable destination to bring friends and family.

Tours of the facility are encouraged. C.A.R.S. is open from 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday and by appointment for special tours.

The facility is located at

17570 N. Tamiami Trail, Suite 2,

North Fort Myers, FL 33903,

just north of the Shell Factory.

SWFL PT Cruiser Meeting 9-11-08

So we held our meeting last night, first meeting back after several months of disband due to "season".
Seems the rest of the world is back to normal besides us. We had two members show last night and 2 guests.
A nice couple from Marco Island in there 2003 Red PT Cruiser GT with lots of add ons.

I had to discuss with the Victory Land owner that we were looking to change locations for a bit to see if that might get some members back, we have to do what we have to do.
I explained to her that it was nothing against the restaurant, we love the place and that we will be back off and on for events and things. So we will see what happens. We are trying to figure things out and this is the first attempt.

When our original president left and gave us the demand of the club, we didn't mind we wanted the club and wanted to develop it more. We are were seeing the downward slope. So it was time to bring in new ideas.

I have taking this upon myself, as many other things, to get the word out better about the club. It seems after we have changed board members, some of the club may not like that idea. It is what it is...we are an open club and I respect the choices of others. I just wish we would get some feedback as the job we are doing. We do not get paid to do this and take out time from our own lives to share something we each enjoy.
As the only active member on the board this month, I have released that my efforts need to expand. I will have to get somethings together for telling others about our club and see what that does. We all have attempted this at one point, however I have ideas others may not have thought of.
